scp-write-file-no-user-template: preference variable

Default value: "scp -q %l %h:%f"

Normally Epsilon copies files using an sftp program, but you can set it to use a separate program instead, if you must use an old ssh system that lacks sftp support. Epsilon uses this template to build a command that copies a local file to a remote host using scp, in cases where it can't use an sftp program to do this. (See the scp-client-style variable.)

Epsilon substitutes the host name for %h, the destination file name part for %f, and the name of the local file for %l. The local file will be a relative pathname to a file in the current directory of the scp command. The resulting command line should transfer the file quietly, without progress messages.

If the scp URL contains a user name, Epsilon uses the scp-write-file-template variable instead. Epsilon checks for host-specific variables before checking this variable.
